Funded from fiscal year 2010 through 2013, the Partnership Fund invested over $29 million in 11 pilot projects, which are estimated to lead to total savings of up to $200 million annually if the pilots are implemented more broadly. As evaluations are completed and results finalized, OMB will work with Federal agencies, State and local governments, and other stakeholders to disseminate lessons learned and apply the tested tools and methods across programs and levels of government. Early pilot results show how access to data from financial institutions could help to detect overpayments in the Unemployment Insurance program, how automated risk assessment tools using integrated data from State Medicaid and the Federal Medicare programs could help identify provider fraud, and how a shared services solution could help States verify Medicaid provider eligibility.

Information Technology Oversight and Reform (ITOR) funding provides the Government with a resource base controlled by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to support activities and tools that enhance the efficiency , effectiveness, and security of Federal investments in information technology (IT). ITOR goals are to: (1) reduce waste and duplication, and ensure that IT investments stay within their budgets and deliver on time; (2) help agencies deliver IT investments that maximize the Federal Government's productivity and customer satisfaction; (3) expand the use of data and analytics to support agency IT portfolio management; and (4) further cross-agency cybersecurity initiatives and priorities.

Information Technology Oversight and Analysis.—Under the direction of the Federal Chief Information Officer (CIO), ITOR funding will be used to enhance transparency, data collection, analytics, and technical assistance in Federal IT investments. ITOR oversight activities will support continued operations of and enhancements to the Federal IT Dashboard, improving the public's view of the Government's annual investment in IT, discussed in Chapter 17 of the Analytical Perspectives volume of the Budget. Building on data from the IT Dashboard and an integrated agency data collection process, the Federal CIO will continue to engage with agencies through PortfolioStat reviews, identifying underperforming and duplicative investments and taking corrective actions. Additionally, ITOR funds will support policy analysis and development efforts to support Federal IT reform, including continuing to support government-wide implementation of the Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA), consistent with OMB's guidance in OMB Memorandum M-15–14, "Management and Oversight of Federal Information Technology." ITOR oversight activities will increase the productivity of IT investments by, for example, optimizing and consolidating data centers under the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative, continuing the adoption of cloud computing, and increasing the use of intra-agency and interagency shared services.

United States Digital Service (USDS).—ITOR funding is also used to increase the effectiveness of Federal IT investments by improving the digital experiences that individuals and businesses have when interacting with the Government. USDS accomplishes this by deploying a growing team of America's best digital experts across the Government, working to assist Federal agencies in implementing new or improved websites, using leading-edge digital technology practices. USDS has established a strong track record in helping agencies to roll out IT services supporting the Government's highest-impact programs.

Cybersecurity.—ITOR funding for cybersecurity will expand OMB's ability to perform data-driven, risk-based oversight of agency and government-wide cybersecurity programs. OMB will also continue to issue and implement Federal policies consistent with emerging technologies and evolving cyber threats. OMB will expand its work with agencies to achieve the 2015–2017 Cybersecurity Cross Agency Priority (CAP) goal, which is focused on agencies managing information risk on a continuous basis, addressing the need for anti-phishing and malware defense measures, and advancing key identity management initiatives. As part of the ITOR cybersecurity program, an expanding team will develop new strategies to protect Federal information assets, developing strengthened and modernized Federal policies and statutes, in cooperation with National Security Council staff, the Department of Homeland Security, the National Institute for Standards and Technology, the Congress, and other key stakeholders. This team will also continue to coordinate the Government-wide response to major cybersecurity incidents and vulnerabilities, to reduce their impact, and facilitate the delivery of inter-agency shared services that enhance the security of Federal systems.

The Spectrum Relocation Fund (SRF), created by the Commercial Spectrum Enhancement Act of 2004, as amended by the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, reimburses Federal agencies that must relocate or share wireless communications systems in Federal spectrum that has been or will be reallocated to commercial use. Auction receipts associated with the reallocated spectrum are deposited into the SRF to pay eligible pre- and post-auction costs that help efficiently and effectively transition Federal agencies off of the reallocated spectrum or facilitate the sharing of Federal systems with non-Federal systems. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) administers the SRF in consultation with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) of the Department of Commerce. In 2015, a portion of receipts associated with the Advanced Wireless Services 3 (AWS-3) auction, which reallocates Federal and other spectrum for flexible commercial use, were deposited into the SRF . Beginning in 2015, and continuing in future years, funds from the AWS-3 auction are being transferred to agencies with approved transition plans to reimburse them for the costs associated with clearing or sharing the auctioned bands. Most funds in the SRF must be returned to the Treasury eight years after they are deposited; in 2015, balances associated with the AWS-1 auction, which were deposited into the SRF in 2007, were returned to the Treasury under this provision.

The Spectrum Pipeline Act of 2015, part of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, authorized the transfer to agencies of up to $500 million of SRF balances, and a portion of future deposits into the SRF, to fund advance planning and research projects that are expected to facilitate future spectrum auctions. Funding for the first round of these projects is expected to be transferred to agencies in 2016.
